 Description

     REPLRIGHT() can be used to exchange all trailing characters in a string
     for any character you choose.

 Note

     .  The return value of this function can be suppressed by
        implementing CSETREF() to save space in working memory.

 Examples

     .  Replace the trailing spaces with dashes:

        ? REPLRIGHT("abcd  ", "-")        // "abcd--"

     .  Replace the trailing dashes with spaces:

        ? REPLRIGHT("abcd--", " ", "-")   // "abcd  "

     .  Replace only the trailing spaces:

        ? REPLRIGHT("   1  ", "-")        // "   1--"
